Job description

We are a specialist recruitment business focused exclusively on the meat processing sector across the UK and Ireland.

The Butchers Recruiter is part of The Food Recruitment Group, working solely with meat processors and butchery businesses to deliver tailored recruitment solutions built on deep industry knowledge.

We are an owner‑led, hands‑on business that understands the real challenges faced by the industry. We are committed to providing reliable, high‑quality recruitment solutions that our customers can depend on.

We work closely with some of the industry's leading meat processing companies, supplying skilled professionals who play a vital role in helping to feed the nation.

The Role

This Recruitment Resourcer role is ideal for someone with strong experience in delivery — managing candidate pipelines, running multiple roles, and supporting clients with high‑quality solutions. You don't need meat‑industry experience — we will teach you the sector.

What You'll Be Doing As Recruitment Resourcer

You will play a key role in delivering high‑quality solutions across a mixture of temporary and permanent vacancies.

Typical roles include General Operatives, Skilled Operatives, Butchery roles, Supervisors, and middle‑management positions such as Production Managers.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing end‑to‑end candidate sourcing, screening, and shortlisting across multiple simultaneous roles
• Writing, posting, and optimising job adverts across all sourcing channels
• Conducting telephone and video screenings to assess suitability, motivation, experience, and cultural fit
• Building and maintaining high‑quality talent pools for ongoing needs
• Coordinating interviews, managing feedback cycles, and preparing candidates at every stage
• Supporting both temporary and permanent campaigns
• Maintaining accurate candidate and vacancy records in CRM systems (Salesforce, Excel, internal trackers)
• Ensuring compliance around Right to Work, references, and onboarding documentation
• Communicating professionally with clients and internal stakeholders
• Providing a high‑touch candidate experience from start to finish
• Meeting KPIs related to submissions, interviews, and fill rates (180 delivery responsibilities)

We're looking for a Recruitment Resourcer with:

• Previous experience in Recruitment or Resourcing (agency or internal TA)
• Background managing both Temp & Perm recruitment
• Experience delivering roles from entry level to middle‑management
• Ability to prioritise and manage multiple recruitment projects at once
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Confident conducting interviews and assessing candidate suitability
• Experience with recruitment systems / ATS platforms
• Highly organised, process‑driven, and comfortable working to deadlines
• A professional and engaging client‑facing style

You will be working Monday‑Friday, 08:30‑17:00. We're a flexible and supportive employer and flexibility is a two‑way street.
